Who is Origami Tech for?

Origami Tech is designed for traders who want to balance automation with control. It’s a powerful solution for:

• Swing traders looking to react to mid-term cryptocurrency market movements with precision;
• Medium-term strategists who prefer structured, rules-based approaches when trading crypto;
• Algorithmic traders building dynamic, formula-driven automated bots;
• Crypto investors aiming to automate execution while staying hands-on with strategy.

Whether you prefer to monitor every step or run fully autonomous bots, Origami Tech will adapt to your workflow and help you scale your trading across multiple exchanges.

Security and data protection

Origami Tech does not store your funds — all assets remain on your exchange accounts. The platform operates strictly via encrypted API connections, with no direct access to withdrawals. Each project is isolated, and API keys are stored securely within that context. You can revoke or rotate keys at any time.

To enhance protection:

• All user data is encrypted;
• Access is protected by secure authentication protocols;
• Your strategies and custom formulas remain private and visible only to your team.

For advanced setups, we recommend using exchange subaccounts and IP whitelisting.

Trading Modes in Origami

Origami Tech supports automating both spot and perpetual futures crypto trading, giving users the flexibility to design strategies across different market types.

Automated Crypto Spot Trading 

In spot mode, bots execute market or limit orders using the available balance on your exchange account. No leverage or margin is involved — the funds are settled immediately, and each trade directly affects your asset holdings. Origami Tech spot trading bots operate based on real-time data and predefined grid logic, allowing you to manage positions via precise rules without manual intervention.

Crypto futures trading

To automatically trade cryptocurrency futures using Origami Tech, select futures mode when creating a bot. This enables access to perpetual contracts, where positions are opened and managed using margin.

Before launching a crypto futures trading bot, you can configure:

• Margin type — you can choose between an isolated margin, where each position has its own dedicated funds and limited risk, or cross margin, where all positions share the same balance, spreading both risk and capital.
• Leverage — set the leverage multiplier your bot will use when opening positions. Higher leverage increases both potential returns and liquidation risks.
• Trading mode at the account level — Origami Tech supports both hedge and net modes, depending on the capabilities of the connected exchange.

All these settings are available directly within Origami Tech during bot creation, allowing for clear control over how your futures strategies are executed.

Visual monitoring and control

Origami Tech includes a well-structured dashboard that gives users all the info they need on their automated crypto trading activity. The interface is designed to be intuitive even for those new to algorithmic trading, with clear navigation and a layout that highlights key information in a digestible way.

Key elements include:

• Real-time charting powered by TradingView, embedded directly into the terminal — no need to switch tabs or tools to follow the market.
• Order book and live market trades panels — observe depth, flow and execution details for each pair.
• Tabbed interfaces for Bots, Orders, Positions, Balances and more — giving you structured access to all core trading data.
• Strategy-specific views that update automatically as your bots place and manage trades.

This interface allows you to track performance, monitor execution and respond quickly — all from a single control panel.

Strategy performance and statistics

Origami Tech provides a dedicated statistics page where key performance metrics are collected across all crypto trading bots and exchanges. This includes:

• Average buy and sell prices for each grid;
• Trading fees and their impact on profitability;
• Realized and unrealized PnL;
• Number of trades over time per bot or strategy.

These insights help assess which strategies perform well, identify inefficiencies and fine-tune execution logic.

Formula Interpreter

In Origami Tech, each crypto trading bot operates based on at least one grid — a set of conditions that defines when to place an order and how much to trade. Grids are built using variables linked to bot properties along with real-time calculations.

The interface is designed to stay simple and transparent, avoiding the need for coding while still allowing precise logic. Trading bots continuously recalculate values and compare them with live crypto market data to decide when to act.

To decide if it is time to place an order, a crypto trading bot will recalculate the values in all of its properties and compare them with the current market situation.

Basic grid example

Below is a minimal working example of a grid that automatically places a buy order for a cryptocurrency at the current market price:

execute_price      = ticker()

execute_volume     = 100

buy_orders_count   = 1

sell_orders_count  = 0

What it does:

This grid configures the trading bot to repeatedly place buy orders for 100 units of crypto at the latest market price, retrieved using the ticker() function.

Since no logic or limiting conditions are applied, the action is triggered every time the market data is refreshed — effectively placing continuous orders until the balance runs out. No sell orders are defined.

Dynamic volume example

Let’s say you want to make the volume depend on your available balance, using 5% of it for the trade. Since the execute_volume parameter must be specified in base currency (e.g. Ethereum (ETH) for the ETH/USDT pair), we need to convert the available counter cryptocurrency (e.g. USDT) into the base currency using the market price.

execute_price    = ticker()

execute_volume   = balance('counter').available * 0.05 / execute_price 

buy_orders_count = 1

sell_orders_count = 0

What it does:This grid allocates 5% of your available counter currency (like USDT), divides it by the current market price (e.g. ETH/USDT) and sets the result as the order volume in base currency (ETH). This ensures the correct quantity is calculated for the trading pair, making the strategy flexible and responsive to price changes.

Using logic in formulas

Formulas can also include conditional expressions. For example:

execute_volume = 50 if balance('counter').available * 0.05 < 100 else 100

What it does:
This grid uses a condition to determine trade volume — if 5% of the balance is less than 100, trade only 50 units; otherwise, 100.

Working with functions

Grids support pre-defined functions for math, logic and market data access. For example:

execute_volume = max(

  balance('counter').available * 0.05,

  symbol().total_counter_min

)

What it does:This formula ensures that the bot always trades at least the minimum amount allowed by the exchange (total_counter_min) — or more if 5% of the counter balance is greater.

Using technical indicators

Origami Tech supports a wide range of indicators popular in crypto trading. Here's an example using the Relative Strength Index (RSI):

execute_price = rsi_to_price(

  candles('m15', 'ETH-USDT', 'okx'),

  75

)

What it does:The function estimates the price level where this will occur and sets it as the order price.

Other indicators, available for use with Origami’s automated crypto trading bots, include:

• Bollinger Bands
• EMA, MACD, Donchian Channels
• Kaufman's Efficiency and Adaptive Averages
• Stochastic Oscillators, Pivot Points and many more

A complete list of supported indicators is available in our documentation.

All formulas in Origami Tech are executed by the internal interpreter and are compatible across all supported exchanges. This allows automated trading strategies for crypto to be reused without code rewrites — just change the context and grid logic as needed.

User-defined variables

When building strategies for crypto trading automation, it's often useful to avoid repeating the same formulas across multiple grids and bots. Origami Tech allows you to create custom variables at the project level — these can be reused in any grid, making your strategies easier to read, maintain and adjust.

Example of usage

First, define the variable in the Variables section of your project:

standard_order_volume = balance('counter').available * 0.1

Then use it in a bot grid like this:

execute_price      = ticker()

execute_volume     = standard_order_volume

buy_orders_count   = 1

sell_orders_count  = 0

This approach helps users:

• Avoid errors when copying formulas;
• Quickly adjust logic across the whole project;
• Keep grids readable and consistent.

User-defined variables act as named shortcuts for reusable logic — especially useful in team workflows or larger strategies.
